Does anyone know if you can make the cli will play a sound file when you do something it is listed for?
Like for instance play a sound when you open a file, or close one

playing the sound is not the problem - there are CLI sound players like
The challenge is to monitor or to get a trigger when the desired event occurs.

Doesn't XFCE have event sounds that you can activate?

I know about startup and shutdown sound, but don't know about any event sounds.
I was thinking along the lines of
- script in background monitoring for event (dbus, or wherever you can get the events)
- on event play sound using mpv
But as I said, the challenge is to get the events - can't help you there unfortunately
PS: found this for event sounds
https://mxlinux.org/wiki/help-files/hel ... em-sounds/
But don't know which events are covered
